Flatters & Garnett, Ltd., Manchester. Section BB 23—BRITISH PLANT ASSOCIATIONS Plain Slides 1/6 each. Coloured Slides, where suitable, 3/- each An “association” is a community of plants occupying a definite habitat, with constant dominants and definite floristic composition. 46—Open Association of Marram Grass on Shifting Dunes. The slides comprising this Section are from a unique series of photographs by Mr. W. B. Crump, M.A. The list has been considerably extended since the last issue by the addition of more than one hundred new slides. The vegetation of the chalk and limestone and of sandy soils is illustrated much more fully than was possible before. With one or two exceptions, all aspects of English Vegetation are now adequately illustrated, and the examples are drawn from twenty counties. Many of Mr. Crump’s photographs have been used to illustrate the original memoirs on British Vegetation. The set now added of British Elms and Poplars (under “ Hedgerows ”) corresponds exactly with the latest authority, the Cambridge British Flora, for the Editor (Dr. C. E. Moss) selected the specimens photographed. The arrangement of the Section follows generally the plan of Types of British Vegetation, edited by A. G. Tansley, M.A., but a renumbering of the slides has been necessary owing to the growth of the Section. In reading the description of individual Slides note should be taken of the headings under which they are classified. MARITIME ASSOCIATIONS.
